There is a need to obtain scientifically grounded data on how young professionals feel about themselves, take their first steps in the customs bodies, how the “system” evaluates in practice the level of graduates’ preparedness, how their interpersonal relations develop while they serve in the customs bodies. An organized and effectively functioning system of adaptation of customs body officials and employees is very important both for a young specialist and for an organization. Such a system decreases the rate of staff turnover, reduces costs, saves the time of the manager and the employees, develops a positive attitude to work, satisfaction with working conditions, and also determines the effectiveness of the follow-up actions of the young professional in the workplace. Professional adaptation in the customs bodies has a number of features due to the specifics of the customs service. The article assesses the impact of satisfaction with working conditions and opportunities in the customs bodies on the adaptation of customs bodies’ officials and employees to the customs service.
